Newsweek editor Evan Thomas brought adulation over President Obama’s Cairo speech to a whole new level on Friday, declaring on MSNBC: "I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God."

Thomas, appearing on Hardball with Chris Matthews, was reacting to a preceding monologue in which Matthews praised Obama’s speech: "I think the President's speech yesterday was the reason we Americans elected him. It was grand.

That speech where he channeled his inner Muslim, where he referenced the "Holy Koran" and what it teaches us numerous times, where he misquoted a verse that is generally used as a justification for Jihad and to fight unbelievers - verse 9:119 (coincidence? perhaps, but kinda spooky anyway), where he laments the fact that time does not permit him to personally solve all the worlds problems ("nor can I answer in the time that I have all the complex questions that brought us to this point" - Obama thinks a lot of himself - if he just had the time he could answer all of them.), where he refused to call murders terrorists (they are just mis-guided extremists really), where he routinely condemned the killing of "innocent" men, women and children when it's been made pretty clear that in a terrorists, oops I mean extremists, viewpoint unbelievers are NOT innocent (personally, I found it kind of strange that he felt it necessary to qualify these references with the word innocent). Is that the speech we're talking about here? What a piece of work.

I think you may have missed the joke.

I will say this: Once he left John Mayall. Quit playing a Les Paul and started playing strat his guitar playing did soften. (Layla sessions excluded.)
